Python - Automatically update base class attribute (alias) in inherited class

Question

I'm sure this is something trivial, but I can't seem to find any insight from the Python (3) docs.

Given the following code, how can I ensure that the t class attribute in the base class is updated in the inherited class.

class DbBase:
    table = None
    t = table

class Articles(DbBase):
    table = Table(....)

I'd now like to be able to refer to Article.table as Article.t as well.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Make t a property :

class DbBase:
    table = None
    @property
    def t(self):
        return self.table

class Articles(DbBase):
    table = {} # for demo purposes

A = Articles()
A.t # returns {}
